I just recieved my new macbook today. I’m very excited about it, but the only problem is I have no way to hook it up to the internet. I have a cable modem on my family desktop computer. I really want to be able to hook my laptop up to the internet, but I don’t want to spend a ton of money for a wireless network. I’ll be going away to college in the fall, so spending alot of money for a wireless network would be a waste because noone else in my family has a laptop. I do not want to remove the internet connection to my family computer. But is there a way to have a connection to my laptop from the same modem go to two different computers?

Get a cheap non wireless router and use an ethernet cable to connect it

You are going to need a router to have multiple computers on the same connection. There is little difference in price anymore between consumer grade wired routers (which are somewhat difficult to find anymore) and wireless routers. Look for a good deal on a Linksys or Netgear wireless router. You should be able to find one for around $50.

A refurb netgear wireless router can be had for $20 on the internet, and the Wal-Mart option.
get a router and quit wishing for the impossible. Take the darn thing with you to college as it may come in handy in the dorm/apartment.

Connect your modems ethernet cable to one of the ports on the device, then connect your computers to the other open ports, this will allow several computers to share a modems internet connection

Yes, you can ; download required drivers of the modem first
All the best
